Description

Swingaree is a regular swing and jazz social that happens every second and fourth Wednesday of the month.

On Wednesday 28th February, we have a treat for you, as the live band are the Afro City Swingers!

Once upon a time, jazz in South Africa was not a remote elitist art form but was truly the entertainment music of the masses. Township residents danced and partied to the strains of eight to ten-piece bands that served up a dynamic mixture of African melodies and harmonies combined with the instrumentation of the overseas swing bands. Because of Apartheid, much of this music was never heard outside of South Africa.
